Depression - signing off work

2018-07-16 15:09:31
I’ve suffered from depression for nearly a year now and was on Sertraline for 6 months. I’ve just been changed to try Fluxoetine but my body really isn’t coping. I’ve been off sick from work for some shifts due to me feeling horrendous. As I’m starting the new tablets today, can my doctor sign me off work until the new tablets kick in and I’m feeling better?
